We have been hearing stories about people's accounts getting hacked and them losing all their people due to these online hackers, which is a great problem for the person that is got hacked because what was hacked and stolen could be all that the person had, and that will suck and hurt like hell to start all over again, some people might be so heartbroken or devastated from the hack that they would not want to start all over again. But in this post am going to tell you how to protect your Metamask hot wallet like your coins were saved in the most secured vault or a cold wallet ever.
The first tip and a very important one, never ever give out your seed phrase to anyone, also if it is possible for you, I think it better for you to keep it off any cloud storage and also your email so that on an occasion where you get hacked, which we don't want or pray for, your seed phrase to access your metamask account will not be found, because your seed phrase is not on your phone or any cloud storage, the person who hacked your phone or any device will be very disappointed because they can not access your coins in MetaMask wallet, it is preferable that you go old school write down your seed phrase and keep somewhere that is secured and out of the reach and eyes of other people.
Download a VPN on your device so that you can put it on when you want to connect to a public WIFI network like at a cafe, library, or when you connect to a friend's WIFI that you know the network is not secure to avoid getting hacked because with the VPN on hacker can not access your device, it protects your device. You can also create a secondary Metamask account and don't fund that account, leave it empty so that when you want to connect to any untrusted or unsecured website you connect your empty Metamask account so if you get hacked there will be nothing to take or steal.
To keep your account extra secure, turn on your google authenticator(2FA) feature, which makes it impossible to hack your account because the google authenticator(2FA) generates a new code for you all the time, with will keep your account extra secured. And lastly, turn on the Auto Lock feature, which locks your account depending on how long you set it to take before locking your metamask account either 3 mins or 5 mins it fine. how to do that is you go to your settings, click on advanced then click on Auto lock and input the time you want.
